“Opens around 5:45ish. Delivery.Park on the street ( Nicholas) facing north before RR XX. Check in by dock. I pulled up to driveway across the dock and backed her in . GET OFF AND CHECK SIDE CLEARANCE FOR DOORS before backing all the to dock. Take your time and you’ll do fine. Pretty quick for a full load.”
“I have visited Thuringer Meats only once but it was an awesome experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the interior was clean and well organized. The meat selection is extensive and they have some frozen options too. There are homemade meals that are also offered in the frozen foods cooler. The deli and other various meats are high quality and cut to order, when possible. The Ribeye steak I purchased grilled nicely and popped with flavor. The lamb loin chops were fresh and tasty too. Looking forward to shopping here again soon! 100% recommend!”
“Ascot's is a great place!! The meats are great, really fresh and flavorful! The staff are very sweet and knowledgeable. If you have any questions about the product you're purchasing, they will provide helpful information. Overall, stupendous establishment!!”
“Has all the best ethnic(Middle eastern, Asian & South Asian) foods, products, and items. Also has the best quality zabiha halal meat selection in most of Chicago. Has anything you can need from snacks, foods, drinks, frozen goods, halal meat, soaps, cleaning products, etc…..?”
“EVERYTHING is and always has been outstanding … Try the London Broil “cuts” they melt in your mouth …
Made on the grill, then untied them and tossed w fresh grilled asparagus and goat cheese … AMAZING”
“The new owners did a great job reorganizing the store and getting it cleaned up. The meat and groceries are very competitively priced. Sometimes, it can be hard to get a hold of someone on the phone. They also got rid of a lot of the processed meat selection that used to be available.Note: their Sunday hours are now 10 am to 5 pm.”

“Place is OK. 2 slot inside dock can get even tighter if the first guy goes in a little cockeyed. Works more along the lines of first come first served. Don't get there too early because they will still be loading their own trucks and you'll just be wasting your time. Guys there are easy enough to work with. If it wasn't for the tight inside dock they would get 5 stars.”
“This place is amazing! It's mainly Mexican style food. They have a hot food bar. They put it out "Fresh Everyday". If they fill up the food bar at 10am- by 1:30pm. Its only scrapes left because the food on is OMG, good food, very fair portions, and the price is right! Looking forward to returning for a few items.”
“OMG! Just wanted to personally thank the newer gentleman on the recommendation of the Salmon thank you for the Garlic/Oil/Butter recipe as well went amazing ☺️. Will definitely be coming back for more ideas packing my Husbands lunch with leftovers as I type.”
“I moved to VP about 5 years ago from the northside, and I'm so happy we found this place....I'm proud to say its become our go-to. Not only does Mike's have amazing high quality meat, but they have a great deli too and the staff makes it even better. Since day 1, i'm always greeted in the kindest way - I even know some by first name basis which is always a small town dream, right?! I should've made a review a long time ago but I am now because on Saturday I bought a 5 1/2 lb corned beef brisket for St Patrick's day to make my husband, and I was really conflicted on the best method to make it since it was on the larger end (from my experience of cooking). I already procrastinated in the morning and probably should've started earlier but I decided to call up Mikes this morning for advice and wow - they really helped me. Google wasnt helping me, everyone has different methods, or recipes of which way is better and i wanted to get it just right especially since this was not a cheap cut of meat!Two gentlemen gave me advice on 2 methods, and they literally gave me all the tips and best ways to handle from their own experiences. Man, it really made me so happy to support a business like Mikes and we will always continue to do so. They really care, and always take the time to help out their customers in store and over the phone. Thank you Mikes meat market! You guys are truly a gem in VP.”
“Great prime meats...awesome service... everyone is very knowledgeable and customer oriented . .they been supplying us at the grill on the alley for a couple of years...”
“High quality meat, awesome individual running the place and awesome prices. You do have to purchase in bulk but if you have a family then trust me you will never shop anywhere else. I've been coming here for a very long time(close to 2 decades, yeah I'm that old!). Ali and his team have been running this place forever and its been family owned for God knows how long. I'm unsure if you need a tax i.d. to shop here but I've been coming by well before that requirement. Huge selection of high quality halal meats, but you have to order it so don't just show up. Call first! I'll be back over and over again. This Yelp page hasn't been updated in forever it seems but this place is still open, right off of cortland and route 53.”
“The absolute BEST hummus. The pita bread is fresh and comes in a large quantity. However, they run out kind of early.
I bought the chocolate rolls that were absolutely delicious. They'd be great with cinnamon, too.”
“Just wanted to drop you a line that my wife and I used your delicious pepperoni on our homemade skillet pizza on Saturday - the best tasting one we ever made!Your pepperoni is the only pepperoni we want to use.Keep up the good work!!!”
“Having shopped at Korean markets coast to coast, Jersey to SF and Seattle, this is one of the best in North America in terms cleanliness, quality of items, and freshness of prepared foods. Chicagoland consumers are blessed to have such a choice. Try the Korean dumplings on the second floor…it’s expensive but you won’t be disappointed!”

“Bought this Romanian dry sausage from Max’s deli in Sterling Heights Michigan the best sausage ever loaded up for Christmas today had to double for the family everyone loved it Thank you for great product”
“I have visited this location as well.as the Barrington shop. Regular customer for a year. The filet mignon is excellent - just as perfect as Perry's steakhouse. I gave 2 to my Dad & his wife ( very picky eaters) and they complimented the quality. Also gave 2 to my neighbor for thanks for helping us- he is an expert griller and was blown away.
Last year we purchased the corned beef. Im not usually a fan of homemade corned beef, but purchased to please my husband. It was PERFECT, restaurant quality. I could not believe it! The staff will answer questions and advise how to prepare.
We cannot be without a few packages of the fresh Polish sausage in the freezer - its a go- to when we dont have a taste for anything. Its the best Ive ever tasted.
The stew meat is exceptional. I made beef stew and it was the best batch Ive ever made.
We were there last week.and I was able to find ground veal to make Italian meatballs. Last month I found at a local grocery store chain and did not purchase ( not fresh/ wanted almost $18.00). I am happy to pay for quality, which is why I purchased through Haybeck's. I will never purchase meat anywhere else.”
“Head Cheese is just like my Grandfather used to make and introduced me to around 1969. I would like to have some raw Onion added. But the flavor, texture, appearance is all spot on.”
“Good store, good food. Prices are pretty competitive. I always judge a place by whether I will be back or not and I can see myself revisiting this place in the future. The reason for 4 and not 5 stars is because the meat I purchased was on sale and I was charged the regular price. I’m sure this was an oversight, but still should’ve not happened. I did end up getting a readjustment so they corrected their mistake.”
“I have ordered several times online to family in other states. My last order, there was a problem with the delivery company. No fault of Omaha. The customer service rep (Jordan) made me so happy. He reshipped the order to my parents with no hassle. I will continue to order from them again and again. With older family out of state, it is nice to know that I can send them quality meat with ease. Thank you, Omaha Steaks! You kept your promise with 100% customer satisfaction. You have a customer for life!”
“This is my go to store for Cecina! The best you can get around the area...I live far now, and am constantly making the drive to buy there. Totally worth the drive!”
“Well done! Lots of improvements...and I didn't see any expired items...but I didn't look everywhere either. I came for Ashura...but it wasn't there. I got boza and jars of canned vegetables. Honey is $17 a jar. It's good that I bought it for 5 dollars from the company store of North Star.”

“They have good selection of meats from chicken, goat, chicken liver, mutton liver, mutton legs, etc. The baby goat meat seems to be bit pricy compared to other shops in other Indian areas. Overall you will find good meat here.”
“There's nothing you can't find at this place! You can find all your favorite Desi masalas, breads, snacks, etc. This along with Woodman's in Buffalo Grove has to be my two favorite spots for fresh groceries!”
“Love their selection of desi food products. Very nice and helpful owner . I hope they would bring back their qeema patties which were amazing . Their prices are so reasonable as well. I have moved away from Mediterranean market and become their permanent customer now.”
“Every kind of food stuff from India, South America, Arab and Asia etc. is available here.
Recommend to visit here if you want all flavors under one roof.”
“Amazing factory store of Polish meats, deli, and sausage. Everything at discounted factory prices. Very very fresh. On the weekend you can also get things such as condiments, fresh bread, and sweets.”
